lol you obviously don't know what being summarily executed means. Olodo like you. You want to compare the death of two individuals no matter how powerful they are to the death of 2million people filled with potentials? That's the difference between yorubas and drug mules like you. We know what matters most

Sometimes I wonder why some igbos still refer to Ojukwu as their hero?

He fought for our independence for 3 years against unbelivable odds. That alone means much more to Igbos than anyrhing else. Staying back to die at the end of the war is something that Nigerians wished on him, but not his people.

Don't be too quick to judge, this man started very well too and in fact he declared a biafra that started printing their own money and used the pound. Ojukwu too NIgeria by storm and went to war which he lost. YOU ARE SHOUTING BIAFRA TODAY BECAUSE OF THIS MAN. someone laid the foundation.

You are a disgrace! You don't even know that for a building, someone must lay a foundation why another build on it.

After he sacrificedillions of ibos and their children he ran away. He left other children looking hungry and malnourished and ran away to take care of his family in faraway ivory coast. Yet ibos don't see him as a coward. Brainwashed people

Are they intelligent?


they act before thinking.That is their own definition of bravery.

For those who say that Ojukwu escaped with his family leaving all others, I ask you.

What would have been gained by Ojukwu staying back to be slaughtered when the war had virtually ended
?

Are u kidding ?
He led over three million people to their death when he had the chance to back out and you are saying why will he be slaughtered for the same reason?

Hitler led his people to war , and when he lost, he didn't run into exile when he had to chance to hand over to his power hungry junior, he killed himself for the course .

Mussolini led his people to war, and when he was initially arrested and overthrown, he broke out of jail and went back to war instead of running into exile .

Ojukwu was losing the war, he handed over a Biafra he dreamt of to Effiong and fled .

in other words, don't start a course you can't sacrifice your life for

I guess people like Effiong who stayed behind did not value their own lives. They could have been rounded up and shot yet they didn't run away like Ojukwu.

Listen, fact 1: Most Igbos are not bitter at Ojukwu for leading them in a war of freedom despite all we lost. If it isnt paining us he led, why is it paining you people he did not lead?

Second fact: what Hittler and Mussolini were fighting for was a direct opposite of what Ojukwu fought for. While Ojukwu was fighting to liberate his people from Nigeria, Hittler and Mussolini were fighting to subjugate other people. Ojukwu fought for freedom, Hittler fought to enslave.

After 3 years, when it was no longer possible to continue, Ojukwu left the scene which ushered in peace. The only thing that would have been achieved by Ojukwu staying back to be killed would have been to give Nigeria sweet victory. By leaving, Ojukwu denied Nigeria that victory and lived to a ripe old age. On his death, he recieved the greatest funeral ever witnessed in Nigeria.

Ojukwu had the last laugh

No offense , but you make less sense with this post.
The point is, those people led their people to war for whatever reason and gave their life for it . They stood till death for the course they established .

It doesn't change the fact that Ojukwu fled when he technically led his people to death.
Heroes make sacrifices even with their life .
Onwuateagwu and Azuchie who followed Ojukwu to the airport should have fled too. As a matter of fact, they could be shot dead , but they stayed back and watched their master run.

According to obasanjo's account of Onwuateagwu's death, he launched a final attack on nigerian troop and got killed .

You can try as much as you can to taint the image of Ojukwu but truth be said, Ojukwu is gonebut his legacy is still alive!

There was a reason he started this agitation, long after he is gone, the agitation has also resurrected shocked shocked shocked

Why

Because these generation has also seen what Ojukwu saw shocked shocked shocked

Only a paid AGENT or anyone that has no truth in him or her with not reason with the Igbos undecided

Their story reminds me of the Israelites and the Egyptians. While the Israelites were doing hard Labour, the Egyptians were enjoying their labour. It wasn't enough, fear due to the increase in the population made the Egyptians slaughter them undecided

Today, the South South are the ones with the oil but inadequate environment/ poor people everywhere you go, while thr Norths are the ones with tge OIL Blocks!

it wasn't enough, the fulani herdmen, religious fanatics are toying with their lives while they complain, the president is silent undecided

If you are in your normal senses do you expect them to keep quiet too

History is about to repeat itself again undecided
Only that this time the :

Israelites are the South and those who see the truth for what it is!

Egyptians are the North/paid agents

Buhari is the Pharaoh

Osinbanjo is the messenger of Pharaoh (Buhari)

and The Moses is Nnamdi Kanu

We all knew what happened to Pharoah and his likes!

Let's watch how it unfolds again in this history that is about to be repeated!...
Does Moses instigate hate speeches, hatred for Egyptians and does Moses asked Israelites to kill other tribes? Keep deceiving yourself. You will tell me if Moses called the Israelites pigs and idiots.

You are making a mistake, Hittler fought a war of agression to create a German empire. When Germany was about to lose the war, he shot himself. Hittler had no other choice. There was no country he could have gone to and the world would not have been looking for him. Mussolini was captured and killed as he tried to escape. These men did not give their life ti anything, death was their way out of a tight situation


Ojukwu on the other hand flew into exile, was warmly recieved. While in exile, he became an international business man and travelled all over Europe and America a free man except in Nigeria

Effiong had nothing to fear, he called for a cease fire to armed struggle. He was just no 2 man and and not hated as much as Ojukwu. Effiong contacted Obasunjo and told him they were ready to throw in the towel and that was it. If Ojukwu had done that, he would have faced firing squad.

Onwuatuegwu was just someone who refused to accept that the war was over. He should have melted into the bushes and reappared when the coast was clear just like other Biafran commanders did. But he had other plans.

Heroes fight for their cause, but if that cause is facing certain defeat, there is no point throwing ones life away if it will make no difference.
